Tecumseh 35779 Piston Ring Set Standard

Product Description

The TECUMSEH 35779 is a standard-size piston ring set designed for use in Tecumseh small engines. Piston rings seal combustion pressure against the cylinder wall, control oil consumption, and transfer heat from the piston to the cylinder bore. This set is the correct standard bore specification, meaning it installs in engines that have not been rebored or oversized. Small engine technicians and outdoor power equipment mechanics install this part during top-end rebuilds when rings show wear, breakage, or excessive blow-by. Correct ring fit is critical to restoring compression and engine performance.

This ring set is intended for Tecumseh small engines commonly found in lawn and garden equipment, including walk-behind mowers, snow blowers, tillers, and other power equipment. It is specified as a standard-size set, making it the appropriate choice when the cylinder bore is within original factory tolerances and no machining has been performed. Always measure cylinder bore before ordering to confirm standard sizing is correct for the application.

Key Features

• Standard bore specification for use in unmachined, factory-tolerance cylinders
• OEM Tecumseh part number 35779 ensures correct fit and material specification

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified small engine technician. Disconnect the spark plug wire and drain all fuel before beginning any engine disassembly. Piston rings must be installed with correct orientation and ring gap positioning per the engine service manual; incorrect installation can cause immediate engine damage. Measure cylinder bore with a bore gauge to verify standard sizing before installing this ring set.
